One Saturday afternoon in October 2001 while doing this he was viciously assaulted by an angry crowd of 40 homosexual activists who pushed him to the ground and threw water and mud over him. There can be little doubt that this was an organized attack.

Two police officers arrived at the scene; there was a disagreement as to whether they should protect him or arrest him, and eventually Hammond was arrested despite him being the victim in the attack. However, due to police corruption, none of the assailants were ever arrested or prosecuted for the assault.<ref name="Harry Hammond"/> At the time there were complaints from homosexuals about the sign which mentioned homosexuality. They did not explain why they had not made a complaint to the police instead of lynching him without warning. Nobody had ever told Hammond that his sign might be illegal nor had he ever received a police warning.
